Employee Allowances

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to assign allowance codes to employees.  

An allowance is a monetary allotment that can be associated with certain company expenses.  The allowance, for instance, might be used for meals or automotive expenses.

You can assign multiple allowances to each employee.

You establish allowance codes in the Allowances screen (People\Configure\Payroll).  

When should I use this screen?

You must initialize this screen after you define allowance codes in the Allowances screen (People\Configure\Payroll).  

You must execute the Create Employee Allowance Timesheet Lines utility in order to generate the allowance information you establish in this screen.  You should execute this utility before you post labor.
